Hingis was infinitely more popular than anyone in today's game. And a huge portion of her followers were male. Anyone who isn't aware of this was probably not alive at the time.

According to Peter Fleming, the best doubles team is John McEnroe and anyone else.

John McEnroe and John Bromwich would be an awesome doubles team, the two Johns.

Yes it would be.

John McEnroe is obviously a great choice. Mustard mentioned Bromwich. Roy Emerson is a possibility.

Another one is Tom Okker I don't think he was the greatest doubles player ever I do think he is up there with just about anyone.

The most awesome doubles performance I've ever seen was the destruction of Smith and Van dillen by Rod Laver and John Newcombe in the 1973 Davis Cup Final. Laver was indescribably great and Newcombe was a bit lower at merely fantastic.
